I loved Clannad and Angel Beats and Kanon was also pretty good. All of these including AIR are based of VN novels, produced by Key as animes and written by the same author: Jun Maeda.

What is so good about AIR, I must be missing something. Yea there was a couple of good moments but that doesn't make it a great anime. To me the story was substandard, characters were dull and the emotional impact doesn't even come close to the others.

So please tell me what all the fuss is all about, im an open minded person - (now that I think about it if you watch anime at all you should already be pretty open minded.. )

Anaway tnx in advance

This.

I personally would give Air 6 out of 10. It's nothing spectacular, but it's worth watching atleast.

When I remember it, I think that Air "shocked" a lot of people when it got aired for the first time .. animation was amazing and the story was new as a "crying genre" ( if you consider it a genre ) .. I think some people at the time said that Air was the most heart breaking anime ever P:

Now there are many anime that follow the same rules as Air so there is no shock or surprise element attached to it anymore.

Had was really great just had a short adaption so they tried to cram everything into 13 episodes. It could have been better if it had Kanon/Clannad/Little Busters Length.

Also the reason why Angel Beats worked out is because it wasn't based off a visual novel.

Well for me I'm not a very emotional person but anime like Air actually give me some feels which is rare and delightfull, it's almost tragic. I guess I kinda liked the characters so I could relate to 'em and boost the feel factor.

I too was taken back by how AIR lacked in comparison to Angel Beats and Clannad. Yes it was based on a visual novel and I'm sure its better then the show but there are ways of doing things that could have pulled it off better in the 12 episode run time it had. To me it was just a 7 on my list but hey if you want the full story go play the visual novel.

I think Air is a terrible anime, do not see how people like it - at all.

It was an ok anime.The beginning was very sluggish. It was extremely boring at some points to the point where I wanted to cry. I wasn't able to become attached to really any of the characters in this anime and I'm sure there's other people who can the same. The ending was extremely sad and brought me to tears, however, this anime isn't totally awful. It's just boring and sad lol. I must say, I really like the scenery and background art though, especially of the ocean.

6/10 probably won't ever touch this anime again. Touching, and sad, but overall, BORING.
